This is the growth I have seen so far over a month. It's definitely noticeable in the bangs, where before they touched the top of my eyebrows, now they're touching my eyelids. It's not much, but it's something. I just want it long enough again that it doesn't look weird when I wear it all curly. Right now, I straighten the bangs even when I wear it curly

Thats a lot of growth!!! Youre pretty too! Itll grow back.. Plus maybe it seems like not that much to u..but to me its a big difference! And nooo are you gonna heat damage your bangs?

I had heat damage to where my hair looked crinkly instead of curly. and I knew that I would never stop straightening my hair bcuz i didnt feel pretty enough.. So i just cut it all off .and it forced me to become comfortable with myself with hardly any hair and without straightening it! So its something to think about!

You and your hair are both so pretty! Gorgeous curls!
I think food has a lot to do with hair growth. If your diet has a considerate amount of calcium (milk, yogurt, cheese) you should have a little faster growth (and stronger hair) than those who don't get too much calcium. I know many people take vitamin supplements to encourage growth. In the long hair website the ladies swear by castor oil too. I only use it on my lashes and I can tell you that it does stimulate growth. I haven't tried it on my scalp though (on a regular basis). I think I'm going to start doing it twice a week and I will let you know the results.

But.. yes the calcium intake sounds like it can be a big part of the health of your hair..Unfortunately, I dont eat breakfase.. so I barely drink milk..and I dont eat yogurt. This is a great theory though I may change my diet though just because of this! Plus Id probably lose weight too..WIN WIN!

OMG you need to eat breakfast! It affects your metabolism and sets you up for what you'll crave later. Energy, mood, cognitive processes, let alone useless crap like your hair, are greatly affected when you skip breakfast.

I work in an office, so I have access to a refrigerator, microwave, etc. so I can pretty much bring whatever I want. But I usually opt for oatmeal as its quick and filling.

My favorite brands are Kinky Curly, As I am, Curly Kinks, Curl Junkie, and Darcy's Botanicals. Also love sealing with oils (loving argan oil right now) and styling with jelly products (KCCC is my current favorite). Mostly trying to keep it simple!
